Texas Governor's Mansion, Official governor residence in downtown Austin, United States.
The Texas Governor's Mansion features Greek Revival architecture with six Ionic columns spanning the front porch and floor-length windows throughout the structure.
Built in 1854 by Abner Cook, the mansion has continuously served as the residence for Texas governors since 1856, making it the fourth oldest such residence nationwide.
The mansion contains valuable furniture pieces, including the former bed of Sam Houston and the writing desk of Stephen F. Austin.
